I am not my tribe,
I am not my race,
I am not my religion,
I am me...
I am not defined by whats in my bank account...
Or wallet for that matter,

I am a man...
A human full of pride and esteem,
I am the soul deep within me,
I am my compassion and passion,
Please dont be fooled by this facade that is vanity,
Do not subject me to your opinion of me,
I am bigger than that...
I am larger than clothes, money and women,
I am greater than the need to succeed and getting ahead of the pack,
I am the deep sense of love.

Define me...
By my essence I say,
Define me by what I stand for...
What I believe in and hold dear,
Because I am my own definition...
No regrets to what I am made of.
